36. I disagree

I think the constituted boundaries of a city are good. The metropolitan area can go on for miles in every direction, but it could be low density, hence not really urban.

Boston is small because it's boundaries are small. It is only about 48 square miles in area. NYC is about 320 sq miles, LA is like 470 sq miles and Chicago is 227 sq miles.

Boston has a much denser, more urban population than LA. LA and it's surrounding area are mostly just chains of different suburbs
